The 6,966 students who took the AASA test were assessed at four proficiency levels in each subject. Those achieving proficiency levels one and two failed the test, while the 23.5% of students who reached the third and fourth proficiency levels passed the test.
Of those who failed, most achieved proficiency level one.
A 2023 study from Scholaroo ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor marks for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.
Additionally, WalletHub also claimed Arizona’s school system ranked among the worst in the U.S. for class size, performance, funding, safety, and instructors’ credentials.
